[music-dsp] Envelope Detection and Hilbert Transform

[Angelo Farina]

????
The (real) FFT of a real signal does not produce any "negative frequency"
spectrum, it only produces N/2+1 positive frequency spectral lines....
Or are You doing a complex FFT on a real signal? This is really stupid, it
takes more than twice the computational power required for a real FFT...
Bye!
